First aid, fire safety and health and safety
training in schools.

Everything that we can do for your school fits into
five essential
categories:

1. Staff training to meet your legal requirements

As with all workplaces in the UK, your school is legally obliged
to make sure that staff members are protected by putting the right
health and safety measures in place. This means identifying all
fire safety, first aid, and health and safety needs and ensuring
that appropriate training is provided. It’s essential that the
training meets the standards set by the Health and Safety Executive
and that qualifications are maintained and certification is
valid.

specific school staff training offers.

2. Staff training to satisfy your duty of care

Your school has a duty of care to your students so that they are
safe – and they feel safe – at all times. It’s important that
you assess the needs of your students and that enough staff members
are appropriately trained to deal with minor first aid situations
and emergencies. You must consider all needs, including those in
the school as well as activities outside the school.

4. First aid training for students – building a generation of
lifesavers

Under the Education Act (2002) your school is required, as part
of a broad and balanced curriculum, to promote the spiritual,
moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of your students and
of society. By enabling your students to learn first aid in your
school in line with the National Curriculum via our free resources
and training programmes, you will go a considerable way towards
promoting fundamental British values. Additionally you'll
empower your students to learn skills that could one day save
someone’s life.

5. Equipping your schools with the right supplies

In order to satisfy your legal responsibility for the health and
safety of your staff and your duty of care to your students, your
school must be equipped with appropriate fire safety, first aid and
health and safety supplies to cover all risks from minor incidents
to major emergencies.
